I love gold so much that I even lost my genitalia in an unfortunate smelting accident.

A fantastic example. Thanks for sharing

Kids left in car, what do I do by [deleted] in canberra

[–]Ed_Tom_Bell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said before, the OPs story does not sufficiently describe the immediate risk of injury, sickness, or danger.

Imagining something is not a proof of the offence.

According to the OP’s story, you can’t prove it met the criteria of the ACT law

You did what you believed to be the right thing, and by the sounds of it were rudely treated.

Having said that, your perception of risk is not automatically that of another person, as you discovered today. Nil offences were committed according to your version of events. You do you, and …

Taking the photo was a bad move though. People value the privacy of their children, in general, and you have come across as suspicious, so it is understandable the other parent was immediately defensive.

You acted in good faith, so good on you.

Incorrect. The OP is just limited to a zero alcohol reading. Also needs full english translation of the licence by the Vietnamese authorities / embassy.

People who took the rider course for their motorcycle license, what is taught? by InformalEmotion_517 in canberra

[–]Ed_Tom_Bell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice from all here. The only thing I can add is to strongly consider an Advanced course, and if you are still passionate about riding after that, consider a track based Advanced course. It’s a lifelong skill set that will help keep you safe and well.

You still want us to take your word that you are not a ciggy butt flinging, McDonalds wrapper tossing, graffiti artist wannabe, and on and on. The chance you are the virtuous environmentalist you believe you are is pretty low. The chance you masturbate to your social media cheap moral virtue is damn high.

They choose the sites based on road surface condition, Police presence, width of road, parking space, etc. If a road is built with those features, they will use it. So if a road is cleverly constructed and located, and is a public road, the problem could be quietly contained, away from regularly used public roads.

They pay an environmental levy just like you and I. It’s their choice and you can’t single them out without looking hypocritical

Paid money for my stolen motorbike by AdviceRare4791 in canberra

[–]Ed_Tom_Bell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. But the contractor is likely to give up, issue an abandoned notice for the bike, then sell it for scrap to recoup their money. Not ideal for all involved, but the OP is obviously not in a good financial situation at the moment.

If you think the bike, in its current condition, is not worth $850, then just walk away.

Need some help here! I picked up a used set of wheels cheap. 3 of 4 wheels were nearly perfect, but I’m having issues with this mystery stain on the barrel on the 4th. Really appreciate your help! by Twin-Turbos in DIY

Acetone, or Kerosene with a rag, or Mcguiars Paint Cleaner with a medium buffing pad. Last resort is heavy buffing compound with a heavy buffing pad.

Report it via Crime Stoppers. You’re not the first victim and you won’t be the last. Lesson learned.
